Cold Play - the Merchant of Venice

Are money and blood not just signs, Of vitality, of love, sex and family? ‘Cos your relationships should be stable, By definition they should be believable. Just being related by blood to someone, Doesn't mean you love them in motion, And so you must engender the pipers, Of goodness: trust, dignity and emotion. Your father should also be your role model, To endorse your moral values and determination, As your partner can never be purchased - Only material goods and the home in earnest. If he is not, then you should acquire, The person of your character’s desire, With whom you can recall and ruminate, To discuss that which you do not hate. Fortune, I'm sure, follows the genuine, Those who upon valour and truth call, Those who receive goodness and love, In return, and not a religious scrawl.
